I am April Hamlin, a multifaceted professional with experience spanning entertainment, corporate leadership, and authorship. I am proud to be the author of seven books and five eBooks, sharing stories and insights that reflect my passion for creativity and empowerment.

During my college years in California, I immersed myself in Women’s Studies and proudly identified as a feminist. Those courses helped shape my perspective on equality, leadership, and the power of women supporting one another. Throughout my career, I have experienced life as a woman of color, and I have had the pleasure—and occasional surprise—of reporting to three female bosses, experiences that have profoundly influenced my understanding of leadership and representation.

My mother instilled in me pride in my mixed heritage, and I am passionate about advocating for people of diverse racial backgrounds. I believe in creating opportunities for anyone who is willing and able to work honestly, and I envision a world where homelessness is eradicated, and barriers to employment are removed.

I also recognize the challenges life presents—medical conditions, workplace conflicts, and the unfair actions of others—and I approach these with an open mind. Race, in my view, should never limit opportunity or define character.

Looking ahead, my long-term goal is to launch a talent agency dedicated to entertainment writers, providing guidance, representation, and opportunities to help emerging voices thrive in the industry.
